Make Widgets/Components Usable Outside Solstice (e.g., WordPress/Wix)

Background

As part of our new CMS initiative, we want to ensure our widgets can be used on platforms like WordPress and Wix, where Solstice (and its CSS/JS) will not be available. Example widgets include the membership list, news, events, and featured story. These widgets need to function independently, with minimal setup required for external sites.

Challenges

• Our current widgets rely on global Solstice/Bootstrap styles and a main JS script.
• This creates conflicts or dependencies that do not work with non-Solstice environments.
• Default CSS is needed to avoid style clashes and ensure basic, visually acceptable rendering.
• A short-term solution may be required while we work toward a robust long-term approach.

Next Steps

• Compile a prioritized list of widgets to curate for external use.
• Identify additional dependencies or blockers for implementation.
• Develop a plan for both short- and long-term solutions, including timelines.
